In response to "The Covid Train"

I hope you recover very soon.

Today is better for me, I hope things change for the better for you. I understand from my perspective about being sick. Usually when I'm sick, it is best for me to be alone because my energy is sapped and I need a lot of rest. I hope you can rest well and get quality sleep as needed.

I'm glad you were able to get what you needed so you can be home and recover.

In response to "The Price We Will Pay Is High. But the Cost To Earth Low"

The greed and selfishness of humans are greater destruction that like a virus runs rampant. Sadly nature endures this horrific affliction upon the earth. I hope we learn to respect nature and ourselves so that we will have a beneficial change of heart and mind.

In response to "Third World vs First World in a Fight to Death"

Now, if only some of this could be learned and moved here. The closest to this I can get is raising my own food. I'm glad for you. I hope your health improves.

Safe travels and many blessings.

In response to "The Friendship Equation"

Here are the boxing gloves and I'll cheer you to success regularly.

Temptation can be very difficult to resist. I hope you can resist and successfully enjoy life to the fullest.

In response to "My New Best Friend."

Now how cool is it to have a back scrubber at your becon call night and day? I'm glad you have this new friend. Of course, this means a one-sided conversation unless you manage to get a word in edgewise. And it might be that you get tired of all the attention, I hope you can easily find the exit. Beware of the jealous type who might take offense to your attentions toward Lufa. Besides Lufa better not sneak about while you're not looking.

Fishing, well be patient and enjoy the adventure. Enjoy each moment of life and take in the beauty all around. Cultivate friendship and let it grow and prosper. I hope things work out well for you and your new friend.

In response to "Every Up has a Down...Every In has an Out"

"One happy camper" sounds good. I'm glad you are thriving and enjoying life where you are, doing what you are doing, and following your sense of adventure. How lost indeed? There are several ways to become lost, so take care to have a map of some sort to lead you on the proper path. I can imagine riding your bike is kinda like flying and remaining on earth.

Safe travels and many blessings.

In response to "The Best Day of My Life...Well, One of Them"

I'm glad you enjoyed your day to the fullest. You could turn much of this story into a book.

In response to "My Imaginary 'Friend'"

Good luck with your class.

I haven't had any experiences like those you describe, but I do know about dimensions, demons, and spiritual stuff according to scripture, and other sources. It is true in most situations that psychiatry does not include spiritual/religious stuff. My understanding is that if you want to explore further via professional help, you might find what you're looking for by finding a person who is religious and also has medical/psych knowledge, but depending on the belief you might need to interact with several people before finding the right person.

Usually, demons are not safe to trifle with, so be careful.

Angels are very different.

In response to "Raised By Alcoholics"

I'm glad I met your best friend; you. It's good you have a second best friend. You have great physical and mental strength and the wisdom to get with it; good for you. Congratulations!

Conflict Resolution

I just got home from my meeting. I haven't missed any since that door opened to me, and that it is something of which I am pretty proud.

Tonight, I had a run-in with Vicki (the facilitator) about how the meetings were being conducted. It ended up making a difference because after this confrontation occurred, the group finally felt like it became a real group. Many people fear conflict, but in my opinion, so long as it is done with a degree of assertiveness, it can bring solutions that remaining quiet never will.

I believed that Vicki had too much structure and control and that there wasn't enough talk happening between the individuals within the group. Instead of sitting back and saying nothing, I took the opportunity to voice my concerns, and there was an immediate change. We then spoke as a group...supporting each other with our battles.

To her credit, Vicki released the reigns quite a bit to allow us this extra freedom. Whilst I understand from her point of view it cannot be a free for all...that there are rules as far as what is said not to trigger or cause offence, it was a good feeling to know that we can voice our thoughts during this process...that we are heard...the very reason I chose this type of therapy compared to one on one.

Monday and Friday are my double training days...workout and then bike, but yesterday afternoon, we were hit with a storm, and I couldn't ride. So instead, I went this morning and it was so peaceful compared to the afternoon clamour of traffic. So from now on, I'm doing both a morning and afternoon ride.

Today I didn't use meth, and just writing those words brings a smile and a sense of pride that I like a lot.
